Hamlet has had quite the moment lately, especially with the likes of Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet and Mamoru Hosoda’s Scarlet coming out. And now director Aneil Karia has his own take on Shakespeare’s tragedy, keeping the play’s original language whilst setting it in present-day London. It’s a bold juxtaposition, and it brings about some genuinely fresh ideas (its reimagining of the “play within the play” sequence is a major highlight). But they come hand-in-hand with some safe ones, which can slow down its frenetic momentum - making this a fascinating-but-uneven adaptation. It’s still worth watching for Riz Ahmed’s electrifying turn in the title role, if nothing else.
